In the accompanying drawing, forming a material part of this invention,

Figure 1 illustrates the application of a device constructed according to the present invention to an animal. T

Figure 2 is a perspective detail view of my device. I I l The device is preferably made of a piece of wire or the like formed to present two shanks 10 and 11. The shank 10 is bent as at 12 toform a loop 13 and then guided upwardly to form a guard 14 adapted to carry one or a plurality of prongs 15 formed by suitably twisting a piece of wire around guard 14, the ends of which prongs are pro- 1 vided with sharp points 16. The other shank 11 is also twisted at the place opposite to the bend 12 ofshank 10 as at 17 to form the invention to provide a device of this character which Wlll cause P21111110 the animal andinduce 1t signature.
